Her father was Gustaf of Teck, a brother of Francis, Duke of Teck who was also the father of Queen Mary of the United Kingdom; the consort of King George V, thus making her the niece of Francis. Her mother was Empress Elizabeth of the Empire of Shadows; a great-granddaughter of Empress Athanasia. She is the eldest and only surviving grandniece of Queen Thalia III; the youngest child of Prince Joffrey of Winia and Princess Elisabeth of Kocho. She eventually died at St. Margaret Palace in the Republic of Sous Novia, due to having eating poison that was poured onto her food.
